GoPro Hero 12 Black review: spec-tacular upgrade


The GoPro Hero 12 has competition among rival action camera, but it remains the top go-anywhere camera, according to our nearly year-long testing

The GoPro Hero 12 Black expands on this, letting you shoot everything in 8:7 (offering a 16% taller field of view than video).That includes taking photos, time-lapses and night mode shots. Now it’s everyone else’s turn with a solid “easy mode” that has you decide just the basics: three framing options (vertical, widescreen and full screen), toggling 8x slo-mo on and off, and whether or not you want to create night effects. AutoBoost now analyzes up to 4x more data vs HyperSmooth 5.0, and the Linear + Horizon Lock built-in digital lens keeps your footage steady even if your camera rotates a full 360° during capture.
